Part I: Emiko Kasahara (November 1, 2001 - December 1,2001)
Part II: History Lessons - Yukinori Yanagi and Naoyoshi
Hikosaka (December 7, 2001 - mid January 2002)
The series introduces recent works by these artists who
combine conceptualist strategies with distinct aesthetic
styles. While Hikosaka and Yanagi reflect on Japan's defeat in
World War II, Kasahara investigates the construction of
femininity in Japan. The three share an intent gaze on sites,
or issues, that draw little attention in our everyday life
WHITE BOX was founded in 1998 by a small group of
international curators and artists as an alternative,
not-for-profit exhibition space. Our mission is to stage
conceptually driven shows of emerging, established and
historically significant artists from around the world.
WHITE BOX invites curators to propose challenging projects
with an emphasis towards culturally dynamic sensibilities.
Each year our program consists of three or four main
exhibitions, both local and international.
